Sangria! Or should I say nectar of the gods?

To celebrate one of my good friend's graduation we went to Ceviche in Downtown Orlando. I have been on a downtown trend :) This was my first time visiting Ceviche, however I have always wanted to try it! Its right on Church Street across from one of my favorite places, The Dessert Lady (we'll talk about that another time).

If you know me, and hopefully you do if you are actually reading this, you know I did not inherit my parents genes when it comes to alcohol consumption. I am usually the one drinking a diet coke when I am out with friends. This time was a little different...

I have never tasted a sangria this DELICIOUS! It was super super super sweet, which is something that I loved. I am not a red wine drinker at all, but I have started being drawn to sweet white wines. Whatever Ceviche does to make their white sangria taste so amazing, I don't know, but I can certainly say I will be going back for more! I had almost 4 glasses I think...

The food at Ceviche is a little blurry for me, which is to be expected after the amount of sangria I drank. Ceviche is tapas, so smaller portions. The girls that I went with and I all decided to get 2 items each. I chose a delicious salad with warm goat cheese, which was some of the yummiest goat cheese I have ever had. Again, it could have been the sangria talking, but it was warm and delicious mixed with the roasted red peppers and greens. I also had filet medallions with a sherry mushroom sauce which was good.

We were treated with a complimentary dessert, which was a special creme brulee, which tasted almost like ice cream. I am not sure how they did it, but it was fabulous! It was not served in a traditional ramekin, however a deliciously edible chocolate shell. It was so tasty!

I can't wait to go back to Ceviche with my sister in law when she visits from Chicago! Its a must go for a date night or a night out with the girls!
